Chapter 173: Sky Demon Slaying, Advanced Taoist Technique, Two Immortal Techniques

He doesn't need to run around anymore, he just has to wait patiently for the eggs to hatch on their own.

Think of this.

Lu Chenfei left the body of the Sky-Swallowing Spirit Toad and settled on the bank of the Akutagawa River not far away. He built a wooden house and practiced while patiently waiting for the eggs to hatch.

Three days later, migratory locusts began to hatch one after another.

Five days later, at least half of the migratory locusts hatched out, numbering in the tens of thousands.

Nine days later, the hungry locusts began to go crazy and chose to eat each other. All the unhatched eggs were devoured and they began to fight each other. After several killings, there were still more than ten thousand locusts left.

Lu Chen placed the sealing ball in front of him, and without further delay, he opened his mouth and spat out:

"Huhuhu~~~"

The fierce Dan Fire spurted out and poured towards the sealing ball. The flames were blazing. Large areas of locusts were immediately burned to death. The sealing ball became filled with black smoke and a burning smell.

When Lu Chen stopped, there were still nearly 10,000 locusts alive among them.

"Keep it first."

Lu Chen did not continue to kill. He turned over and put away the sealing ball, planning to deal with it when needed. Then he reached out and gently said:

"Expand!"

[Nine-Sky Sky Demon Slash Advancement Conditions]:

【1】：Ten thousand dead souls (10000/10000 has been achieved!)

[Name]: Lu Chen

[Supernatural power]: Perfection of the Nine Heavens Demon Slayer (can be promoted!) +

"Finally accomplished!"

Lu Chen took a breath and said without hesitation:

"upgrade!"

"Weng~"

The blood line suddenly appeared on his back, and Lu Chen was in a trance. His vision was infinitely higher, as if he saw the vast sky and earth suddenly turn into red, and there was a vague sword energy rising into the night. He was in a trance, and it took a long time to come back to his senses.

"What's wrong, brother?"

Meng Yao tugged on a strand of Lu Chen's long hair, feeling a little worried.

"I am fine!"

Lu Chen laughed. He didn't need to look at his back to know that the blood line on his back disappeared, which also meant that Lu Chen had completely mastered the second Taoist technique.

[Name]: Lu Chen

[Taoist Technique]: Jiuxiao Sky Jue Slash (the conditions for promotion can be expanded and selected!)

The great magical power Nine Heavens Demon Slash has been upgraded to the fourth-level Taoist skill [Nine Heavens Sky Jue Slash]. The difference between one word and one word is huge. However, the specific power still needs to be tested. He lightly tapped:

"Expand!"

Another screen of light appeared in front of him, and his expression was suddenly shocked.

[Jiuxiao Sky Jue Slash promotion route]:

【1】Twenty-third Immortal Technique: Jiuyuan Jiuxiao Immortal Demon Slaying

【2】The 32nd Immortal Technique: One Yuan, One Qi, Empty Blade

【3】.

"Jiu Yuan Jiu Xiao Immortal Demon Slash!"

"One yuan, one energy, no empty blade!"

Perhaps it was because they were attacking immortal arts. Two immortal arts were very high on the list. One was ranked twenty-third and the other was ranked thirty-second. Without thinking, Lu Chen reached out and pointed at the first one.

"brush!"

The light curtain trembled slightly and changed again.

【Name】: Lu Chen

[Taoist Technique]: Jiuxiao Sky Jue Slash (conditions for advancement can be expanded!)

"Expand!"

[Nine-Sky Sky Jue Slash Advancement Conditions]:

【1】：Taoism is perfect (not achieved!)

【2】: One Immortal Demonic Corpse (not achieved!)

【3】: One Immortal Crystal (not achieved!)

If Jiuxiao Kongjue Slash wants to be promoted to the immortal art [Jiuyuan Jiuxiao Immortal Demon Slash], the conditions are almost the same as those of Qiankun Inseparable to advance to the immortal art [You Jian Wu Jian Kong Ming Zhuan], both require [Taoist Perfection] and [ A fairy crystal].

The only difference.

One needs [Kong Ming Stone] and the other needs [Fairy Demon Corpse].

However, Lu Chen's cultivation level is still shallow, and he has never even heard of it. It is very difficult to advance to the level of immortal arts. Fortunately, with two Tao arts to protect him, the situation is completely different.

Don't think too much at the moment, just close your eyes and feel silently.

"well!"

After a long time, Lu Chen opened his eyes, surprised and happy. In the past, when the magic sword was used, it was either you or me who would die, but now the Taoist magic can save people from desperate situations. There is room for recovery. After using the sword, If the enemy is not dead, he will only be seriously injured at most, and he will not be in a situation where he will die when the oil is exhausted.

If you can kill someone, not only will you remain unscathed, but you will also be able to rob the other person of their benefits.

It comes down to it.

In fact, it's because Taoism can connect the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. In the past, one sword cut out all of one's own, but now with the supplement of external spiritual energy, it only cuts out most of it.

This way.

When he used the Nine Heavens Sky Jue Slash, he had a lot less worries.

"very good!"

Lu Chen nodded, thinking secretly in his heart, looking at the fourth-level spirit beast lying across the Akutagawa River. His plan was very simple. Since the space in the body of the Sky-Swallowing Spirit Toad was hidden, he would find a way to wake the other party up and make the other party take the initiative to speak. The internal space is exposed.

He took the opportunity to use the Taoist technique [World Without Distance] to escape into it, thereby bringing Fang Yuqi and the others out.

What he was most worried about was that he would not be able to come out after entering.

but.

This space is hidden and difficult to enter, but it should be easier to get out. Lu Chen is very confident that he will not be trapped in it.

"Then do it."

Lu Chen made a decision in his heart, and without hesitation, he took Meng Yao's sword and flew towards the Sky-Swallowing Spirit Toad, landing on the opponent's back. He then took out the sealing ball, reached out and touched it, and released the five locusts in it.

Before the other party could escape, Lu Chen knocked him unconscious.

He fixed the locusts on the five positions on the back of the Sky-Swallowing Spirit Toad, and flew his sword into the distance, stopping two miles away from the Sky-Swallowing Spirit Toad, with his feet stepping on the void.

Turn around silently.

Make a seal with your hands.

He slowly raised his right arm, mana surged in his body, and spiritual energy surged around him. A streak of blood emerged from the top of his skull, condensing into a blood-red blade that connected to the sky and the earth. Lu Chen himself was the blade of this blade. handle.

"cut!"

Lu Chen suddenly waved his arm, only to see the long knife slash down and disappear without a trace!

"Boom!"

There was an explosion on the back of the Sky-Swallowing Spirit Toad, which shook the area for dozens of miles. One of the locusts was wiped out of thin air, leaving no trace.

"Pfft!"

Lu Chen's body suddenly shook, he opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of dark green mucus, grinning and saying:

"too disgusting!"

The locust died, but Jiuxiao Kongjue Slash helped him plunder a stream of locust essence and blood. This was the most valuable thing of the locust, but it was of no use to Lu Chen, and instead made him feel disgusted.

"Bah!"

He took a breath and looked up, and saw that the fourth-order Sky-Swallowing Spirit Toad had not moved at all. There was only a shallow white mark on his back, but it was not injured at all!

"impossible!"

"No way!"

Lu Chen hurriedly flew to the back of the Sky-Swallowing Spirit Toad, examined it carefully, stretched out his hand to touch the huge knife mark, and his expression changed. The knife mark was hundreds of meters long and two feet deep. It looked extremely terrifying, but it was relatively different from the swallowing toad. Considering the huge size of the Heavenly Spirit Toad, it is not worth mentioning!

"terrible!"

"No, it's definitely not an ordinary fourth-level spiritual beast!"

Lu Chen's face was filled with shock. He understood that this Sky-Swallowing Spirit Toad probably had the blood of a divine beast, and was probably at the peak of the fourth level. It was probably one of the top spiritual beasts in the world.

"Try again."

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Lu Chen was still unwilling to give in, and tried four more times in succession, almost squandering all his magic power. However, except for four terrifying knife marks on the back of the Sky-Swallowing Spirit Toad, the opponent did not move at all.

"What a bully!"

Lu Chen flew on the back of the Sky-Swallowing Spirit Toad again, feeling desperate and on the verge of crying. This was his strongest method, but he didn't care. He didn't even raise his eyelids and just chopped him casually!

Lu Chen frowned deeply and began to think about other methods. Meng Yao on his shoulder pointed into the distance and said crisply:

"Brother, look, someone is coming~"

"people?"

Lu Chen came back to his senses, looked along Meng Yao's little hand, and saw a broken boat approaching. There were more than a dozen people crowded on the boat, wearing shabby clothes, holding oars in their hands, sliding as hard as they could, as if they were attracted by the movement just now. Come.

"Fishermen?"

Lu Chen was thoughtful, watching the broken ship stop, watching them take out the knives and forks on the ship, climb on the back of the spirit toad one by one, and come to Lu Chen in groups, all of them looked unhappy.

Lu Chen frowned and said:

"What are you going to do?"

"Wow~~"

More than a dozen people looked frightened. Intimidated by Lu Chen's momentum, they subconsciously took a few steps back. They didn't dare to reply, but they didn't feel comfortable leaving. One of them, a teenage boy, clutched a spear and pinched his neck and shouted:

"You are not allowed to harm Grandpa Lingchan!!!"

"Grandpa Lingchan."

Lu Chen narrowed his eyes and muttered:

"Are you the fishermen nearby?"

Seeing that everyone was silent or not retreating, he pointed at the oldest man among the crowd and shouted:

"You, answer!"

"Me?"

The man with a gray beard held a steel fork and turned to look around. Only then did he realize that Lu Chen was referring to himself. He swallowed, with a look of fear on his face, and said in a trembling voice: "I am from Hongqiao Town. I have been here for generations. Here, Grandpa Lingchan protects us from any disaster, and we can’t let you hurt him.”

"Yep!"

"I can't let you hurt Grandpa Lingchan!"

"Please leave!"

Everyone was filled with righteous indignation, as if Lu Chen was a heinous and evil counselor. Even if Lu Chen wanted to go on a killing spree at the next moment, they would not retreat in fear.

"You are the bad guys!"

Meng Yao on his shoulder was very angry, with his little hands on his hips and his little tiger teeth grinding loudly.

Lu Chen stretched out his hand and rubbed Meng Yao's little head, comforting Meng Yao. Seeing everyone's wary looks, he knew that it would be difficult to get useful information, so he said no more, and flew away with his sword into the distance, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

"Huh~~"

Everyone seemed to have been in the gate of hell. They collapsed on the ground one by one and rested for a while before recovering. They kept watch from early morning until dusk. Seeing that the sky was getting dark, they bowed and kowtowed to the Sky-Swallowing Spirit Toad three times and nine times. Hungry, we boarded the boat again and sailed all the way to the distant shore.

"Wow~~"

The Akutagawa River was surging with raging waves, and the fishing boat swayed several times and almost capsized, but miraculously managed to make it through.

"Grandpa Ling Chan bless you!"

"Grandpa Ling Chan bless you!"

The fishing boat docked without any danger, and everyone worshiped the Sky-Swallowing Spirit Toad on the shore. Then they supported each other and walked into Hongqiao Town, five miles away.

In the night, Lu Chen was hanging in the air, leaning over and looking at the entire Hongqiao Town. Hongqiao Town was located in a valley, with clear springs flowing in the valley and waves of wheat rolling. There were hundreds of households. All they could see were candlelights and the sound of dogs barking. There was a loud sound, and the doors of every house were unlocked and the doors were not closed at night.

A rare paradise scene.

"Is there really a spirit toad that protects me?"

Lu Chen looked suspicious. Such a paradise can only appear in the secret realm. In the outside world, not to mention natural disasters and military disasters, even a passing spiritual beast can destroy Hongqiao Town overnight. But this Hongqiao Town It seemed that there was no cultivator to protect him, but nothing happened.

Lu Chen fell from the sky and walked around Hongqiao Town. He found that almost every household enshrined the statue of the Sky-Swallowing Spirit Toad.

"It seems that this Sky-Swallowing Spirit Toad really has some power as a divine beast."

Lu Chen sighed and left quietly.

Early the next morning, after using his blue-striped face to change into a plain face, Lu Chen returned to the outside of Hongqiao Town. He saw naked children running around at the entrance of the town, laughing and laughing; there were elderly people walking around. To stay healthy, there are also middle-aged men and women taking advantage of the cool weather to walk to the wheat fields with hoes on their shoulders, talking and laughing.

He ignored everyone's strange looks and walked into the town calmly.

There was smoke from cooking in the town, and many people were squatting in front of their houses, grabbing porridge. Chickens and dogs were scrambling for it at their feet, chasing a few scattered grains of rice. Some people gathered in twos and threes, chatting about their families and their families.

"Wangwang~~"

Several big dogs barked at Lu Chen and chased him fiercely. Without waiting for Lu Chen to pay attention, they scurried away with their tails between their legs. Lu Chen paused and stopped in front of a small building called "Ye Laixiang".

Shaking his head, he walked towards a restaurant opposite where a famous person had guests.

"Waiter, serve the food, welcome me with some wine and meat!"

Lu Chen walked into the restaurant, sat down in front of a brightly polished wooden table, and shouted, which immediately woke up the waiter who was secretly napping at the next table.

"Okay, wait a moment objectively!"

The waiter hurriedly wiped his face and ran to the kitchen. The shopkeeper who was flipping through the account books on the counter had a strange look on his face. He looked up at Lu Chen for a few times and then lowered his head.

Meng Yao sat down next to Lu Chen, upright.

The two alert ears hurriedly landed on the table, looked towards the kitchen, and started arguing over whether it was six dishes or eight dishes, and soon a fight broke out.

You punch me.

I'll kick your feet.

One has a bruised nose and swollen face, and the other has sore hands and feet.

Punches and kicks.

Noisy and noisy.

Not long after, various dishes were served.

"Drink, sir!"

"Little master, eat the food!"

The two-eared messenger helped pour the wine and pick up the vegetables. After working for a while, they also started eating and drinking. Lu Chen calmly ordered a plate of stewed fish with bamboo chopsticks and asked the waiter who had just relaxed:

"Is this fish still fresh?"

"The guest officer is joking."

The clerk quickly apologized and explained:

"At first glance, the guest is a foreigner. We are close to the river. There are no fish. They are all fresh. For example, this bearded fish was just caught yesterday. It was swimming happily in the pond in the backyard. No, now It became the food in the mouth of the guest officials."

"You have a lot of outsiders here?"

"not much!"

The guy shook his head and said proudly:

"We are protected by Grandpa Lingchan here, and there are very few people who can walk into the valley. Only one came this year, Nuo, the old mother from [Tuberose] across the street. She gathered around a circle and made a settlement. It’s such a big deal, tsk tsk, that’s a really nice place, but it’s also a gold-selling cave that eats people without spitting out their bones, so it’s expensive!”

Lu Chen glanced at the other party with disbelief on his face:

"You have Grandpa Spirit Toad on your left and Grandpa Spirit Toad on your right. Grandpa Spirit Toad of yours is very powerful. Have you seen it with your own eyes?"

"Why haven't I seen it before?"

The boy widened his little eyes and shouted:

"Grandpa Ling Chan has been protecting our Hongqiao Town since ancient times. He takes a breath every three years and can tear off a piece of the sky when he opens his mouth. He just opened his mouth a year ago. That scene, tsk tsk, I can't even think about it. If you don't believe it, But if you stay in Hongqiao Town for two years, on October 28th two years later, Grandpa Lingchan will definitely say, hehe, I’m afraid I’ll scare you half to death.”

"Ahem~~"

The waiter wanted to continue to show off, but the shopkeeper at the counter coughed twice in succession, which frightened the waiter into shutting up, confessed, and ran back to the kitchen.

“Three years to catch your breath!”

"October twenty-eight!"

Lu Chen was thoughtful and finally saw the hope of the Sky-Swallowing Spirit Toad speaking.

However, it still needs to be verified.

He finished the meal slowly, leaving a grain of spiritual sand behind. He turned around and entered the "Tuberose" on the opposite side. The waiter who was secretly looking at him was envious to death. In the "Tuberose", Lu Chen opened his mouth and called four body soft bodies. The sweet little lady got the same answer after using the butterfly fragrance.

"Two more years!"

Lu Chen left Hongqiao Town and looked back at the peaceful valley. He narrowed his eyes and suddenly felt a violent desire to destroy Hongqiao Town. Since the Sky-Swallowing Spirit Toad protected Hongqiao Town, if he destroyed Hongqiao Town , will the other party wake up early?

"bass!"

The Qingyun Sword appeared in his hand, trembling slightly. Lu Chen's eyes were filled with bloodshot eyes. He raised his feet and stepped into the valley again, but was suddenly stunned when he saw that the Hongqiao Town that was still in front of him had disappeared.

"this"

"How can this be!"

Lu Chen couldn't believe it. He searched back and forth several times, only to find that the valley was dim and there was no trace of Hongqiao Town at all.
